# How to find the table of ordered frequencies of vector elements in R?

R ProgrammingServer Side ProgrammingProgramming

We can create table of frequencies of a vector element by using table function and the ordering can be done by using sort function. If we want to order the frequencies in decreasing order then decreasing argument can be used. For example, if we have a vector x then the table of ordered frequencies can be created as sort(table(x)).

## Example

Live Demo

x1<-sample(0:9,100,replace=TRUE)
x1

## Output

[1] 1 4 3 9 8 7 9 5 8 0 6 7 9 0 0 1 5 9 3 0 0 3 7 4 6 8 4 9 3 0 0 2 9 0 2 3 5

[75] 3 2 1 1 8 2 3 6 3 5 3 9 5 9 7 8 2 5 0 6 1 3 4 2 4 5

## Example
